| '''Scar of Pain'''
| Passive
| N/A
| align="left" | Valak's basic attacks and actives ignore 100% of the target's defense.
| align="left" | This passive essentially gives Valak the strongest combos of any Epic NPC; for this reason, it is essential for players to mana break immediately when they are caught in Valak's combo.

| '''Counter Chance'''
| Passive
| N/A
| align="left" | When Valak falls down, he can tap X to sweep his sword in a broad sweeping motion that does not knockdown.

| align="left" | Valak can activate awakening repeatedly.
| align="left" | This skill gives Valak the unique ability to awaken more than once, unlike any other NPCs, as NPC awakenings tend to be permanent. However, Valak's AI does not use this ability very frequently; nor do NPCs tend to use awakening offensively in general.

| align="left" | Valak crushes his opponent's weapon with his claw, reducing their damage by 50% for 10 seconds.

| align="left" | Valak charges Wild Charge immediately, unleashing full damage without any delay. For this reason, he never needs to charge Wild Charge. The range is shorter than the original.

== Strategy ==
== Strategy ==
Valak's passive "Scar of Pain" makes him a huge threat. Compounded to that, he is able to roar, forcing you to stay within his range. Catch him or die.


Valak's skills do not pose as much threat as his combos. He will spam Valkyrie's Javelin mindlessly even if you are on a platform below him. He also likes to use Charged Bolt, however due to its size it is likely you won't get the full damage as you are knocked out of it.
Avoid hitting Valak when he is in the air, he will always retaliate faster than you can react.
* *UPDATE* Sakra Devanam can catch both raven NPCs with her counter skill because it neither knocks up (Elsword classes) nor knocks down (Elesis Grand Master). Simply knock down using any move then use counter before they do their "x" get up attack.

* Valak was once the Royal Knight of Velder, under Noah's team.
* When fighting Spriggan, Valak was able to obtain Spriggan's armor. However, the armor was cursed, controlling Valak and leaving him in a state of extreme eternal pain.
* The cursed armor caused him to develop a hatred of the world, believing that everyone should feel the same pain as him.
* His attacks, which can pierce all defenses, are called the "Scar of Pain". With this power, he became the Lord of Pain.
* Valak has a deep desire for a rematch with Edan, who were rivals prior to the two of them becoming cursed. Edan and Valak had agreed to fight, but Edan disappeared due to the curse of his sword. Valak has a desire to find his old friend to continue the battle.
** He joins the arena to fight Edan, who agrees to meet him there.
* The Evil Tracer Ice burner set (Raven), is the outfit Valak wears, though the weapon is modified, along with recolored Archdevil wings that are in their "open" state.
**As of recent patches, Valak's modified weapon has reverted into that of a normal Evil Tracer Blade (Raven).
*[[Reckless Fist]]'s modified {{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CZ}}{{CX}} combo was originally exclusive to Valak before it was added during the August 6, 2015 update in the Korean server. Valak's version does not include the additional Nasod spikes, launches, and inflicts Wound.
* With a full [[Unique Equipment|'''Mysterious Aspirations''']] set. [[#Gallery|Mysterious Aspirations of Monarch Valak]] can be randomly summoned in dungeons and fields while attacking. When summoned, he will say Nuclear and do one of five possible attacks:
